| Abstract: | Summary CosmopolitanDrosophila species can survive wide ecological tolerances measured by resistance to desiccation/temperature extremes compared with endemic rain forest species. This, rather than any genetic features, is important in helping to explain the widespread distributions of cosmopolitan species.We thank Dr Lee Ehrman for cultures ofD. paulistorum, and the Australian Research Grants Committee for financial support. |
